With people like you posting a low reputation is an honor.

At least I understand what "General Automotive (Non-BMW)" means.

Since you don't understand what NON- means like 99% of the English speaking world, here it is:

non-
prefix
also (ˈ)nän, or ˌnən, ˈnən, before stressed syllable ˈ-, also ˌnän, ˌnən, before stressed or unstressed syllable ˌ-; the variant with is also to be understood at pronounced entries, though not shown ə
1
: not : other than : reverse of : absence of
nontoxic
nonlinear
2
: of little or no consequence : unimportant : worthless
nonissues
nonsystem
3
: lacking the usual especially positive characteristics of the thing specified
noncelebration
nonart

Don’t mind the looks of the exterior that much but if it is a one central screen affair on the inside forget it.

I like it!
I get that warm fuzzy feeling from retro Bimmers when I look at the front.

I agree. I see a lot of E30, early 80s/90's BMW vibe from that front end.

I can honestly say from the aesthetics look of this vehicle it's giving a big nod to the past.

I haven't been this excited since the E46, E39 days.

This is what BMW should have stayed with in terms of a "Look"

Porsche knows their clients very well and keeps the 911 looking like a 911 since the 60's.

BMW had a winning design with the 80'/90's BMW's and I think it is going to be an excellent come back.

I am hoping that this design will continue on the new i3 sedan and continues to filter through the entire lineup all the way to the 7-series and X7.

If BMW did this, they would see sales jump as customers like myself and well other's, cannot believe what we are seeing that is about to come out. Keep them looking like that and BMW again will stand for Break My Wallet. Why? Cause we have been waiting for this moment.

That includes mining, manufacturing, drilling and refining of oil and minerals, paint, to the crusher - every single component from cradle to grave.

One thing many will miss is that emissions from burning gas goes into the atmosphere, and stays there. EV batteries store the energy, and the minerals in the batteries can be recycled. The CO2 stays in the atmosphere for centuries. But but, ‘power production cause emissions,’ you retort? Maybe in some cases, but it can and is being made less fossil fuel centric. Once you buy an ICE, its future CO2 emissions are locked until the car is scrapped. Any power plant Co2 emissions for EV power will get greener over time. It’s going to happen quickly too. And ICE car sold today will be burning gas and emitting CO2 for 10-25 years.

There are much smarter people than anyone posting on Bimmerpost (well mostly) who have studied this and truly understand the LCA of EVs vs ICE. As of now, EVs are better after x number of miles driven, even after accounting for battery production. That will only get better as technology improves (and it will as people buy EVs)

All the nonsense about “tires!” serves to further distract and detract, giving a certain set of naysayers a talking point that will be promulgated by the “I do my own research” crowd. Fact is tire technology is also improving, and along with lighter batteries and lower EV weights, can be overcome.

What cannot be overcome is climate change caused by fossil fuel burning. We have to decarbonize or we will suffer the consequences.
This guy buys into all the WEF/globohomo propaganda.

It is quite a sight to behold.

I guess this looks OK when compared to the cybertruck.

I can't imagine what the Neue Klasse 3-series will look like.

I think the designers are trying too hard
Justifying their jobs
What is it with this tablet slapped on the dashboard approach ?
As with all of these designs I will reserve my view once I’ve seen one in the metal but it’s not doing much for me at the moment

Maybe it’s just because I’m middle aged?….
